Well, yeah. That's exactly the purpose of a terrorist attack. You do something violent and destructive to send a message to people to stop doing what you're against. Historically it has never worked, but idiots don't ever learn. And, you know, idiocy transcends religious and national boundaries.
Terrorism has been effective at times. George Washington is still considered a terrorists by some Brits. It's certainly not true that it's never worked, and I can provide citations if you must have them.
I wouldn't say it's only done by idiots, either. It's typically the last resort of a desperate people. I'm not glorifying it, but there's no reason to look at it illogically.
